Salim, a licensed clinical officer, provided emergency care to a PAK, a girl who needed care and was arrested for it. His case reflects the reality that many healthcare providers across Kenya face when offering constitutionally permitted reproductive health services, and why so many are forced into silence or inaction. Criminalizing providers is unjust and it must end. Join us tomorrow as we await the Court of Appeal judgment in Malindi. #abortionishealthcare #abortionrights @rhnkorg @KenyaCommsHub @TICAH_KE @CSA_Kenya @NAYAKenya @FeministsKE @womencollective @Zamara_fdn @usawafoundation @AfricaCHSGJ

#benchwatch The Court of Appeal will tomorrow determine the PAK appeal, in which the High Court found, among other things, that the Constitution guarantees a right to access safe abortion.I appraised the decision here: verfassungsblog.de/revilitizing-t…

A defining moment for rights and justice. Tomorrow, the Malindi Court of Appeal rules on whether abortion care is a fundamental constitutional right in Kenya. #reproductiverights #reproductivejustice

The 2022 ruling was a breakthrough against a system that too often criminalizes reproductive care and penalizes the vulnerable. Tomorrow, March 27, 2026, the Malindi Court of Appeal will decide if this landmark protection stands. #reproductiverights #reproductivejustice

📢 Tomorrow, the Court of Appeal (Malindi) will deliver judgment in AG & Others v PAK & Another. The appeal challenges a High Court ruling affirming the constitutional right to safe & legal abortion and addressing gaps in access. @KELINKenya joins @fidakenya & Women's Link Worldwide as amici curiae. 🔗 Read more: kelinkenya.org/reproductive-j…

Systemic injustice isn’t a glitch, it’s the system working against the most vulnerable. From a hospital bed to a jail cell for over a month because of accessing a service protected by the Constitution. The PAK & Salim Mohammed case exposes how women and healthcare providers continue to be criminalized instead of protected. The High Court decision was clear, abortion is a fundamental right under the 2010 Constitution of Kenya. #reproductiverights #reproductivejustice

25 children dead. Not one of those leaders is talking about it , or looking bothered. 25 children dead. What is this country ? What’s going on ??

"Imagine it's your daughter or sister..." Please, if you know you cannot understand the gravity of the situation without someone having to frame it within your own circle, get out from my front. Conditional empathy una.

I think the saddest thing about feminism is how revolutionary it seems. How can a movement for equal treatment at best and common human dignity at worst ruffle so many feathers? How can it be so difficult to understand? How can it be met with so much pushback? It is so obscene.

UPDATE: Kenya's High Court declares that registered mobile phone number constitutes a digital identifier linking personal data that relates to an individual’s private affairs hence qualifies for protection under Article 31 (c) & (d) of the Constitution to safeguard the right not have information relating to private affairs unnecessarily required or disclosed. This declaration by the High Court follows a petition challenging the reassignment &/or recycling of the deactivated but previously registered mobile telephone numbers owing to extended period of inactivity or non-use. The High Court has now given the Office of the Attorney General 6 months to take all necessary and appropriate measures to safeguard digital identity associated with the registered mobile telephone number against unfettered deactivation, and subsequent arbitrary reassignment or recycling. The High Court rules that reassignment of cell phone numbers should happen only when/if: 1. There is the previous registered owner’s informed & verifiable consent 2. After expiry of reasonable period following issuance of public notice which must be preceded by through documented verification process aimed at confirming the original registered owner cannot be located or has unequivocally revoked the rights to the number 3. Technical safeguards be put in place and implemented to prevent unauthorized exposure or transfer of personal data linked to previous registered owner to 3rd Parties upon reassignment or recycling of the number

Even as floods impact parts of the country, the drought crisis continues to push millions of Kenyans to the brink. More than 3.3 million people need food assistance, 1.5 million urgently need water, and over 200,000 children are battling severe acute malnutrition. Communities across arid and semi-arid counties are facing a deepening humanitarian crisis. Kenya Red Cross is on the on the ground providing water, food assistance, nutrition support and health services but the scale of need continues to grow. The drought is worsening. Urgent support is needed to save lives and protect livelihoods.

Consent given by an employee for the use of their image or personal data during employment does not continue after the employment relationship ends; fresh consent must be obtained before the data can continue to be used. In Moja Expressway Company v Ndung’u [2025] KEHC 16790 (KLR), the High Court dismissed an appeal against a decision of the Data Protection Commissioner which had awarded Kshs 500,000 to a former employee whose image continued to be used by the company on social media for promotional purposes after he had left employment. The Court held that the employee’s image had been captured within the context of employment, and once the employment relationship terminated, the basis for the continued use of the data was lost. The Court agreed with the Data Protection Commissioner that fresh consent was required for the continued exploitation of the data, and that use of the material without fresh consent amounted to a violation. Key Takeaway: Where an employee’s image or personal data was captured within the context of employment, the employer must obtain fresh consent before continuing to use the data after the employment relationship ends.

This #InternationalWomensDay we are awake to the reality that for many women in Kenya, the struggle for equality is not abstract. It is experienced in hospitals, workplaces, homes, and public spaces where systems meant to protect them too often fall short. @KELINKenya's litigation team shares reflections on the theme "give to gain" with a lense to justice.
